The Ultimate Green Shopping Experience

Los Angeles, CA - Green has gone mainstream and the spotlight is now on shopping green in a big way. As issues such as greenhouse gases, renewable energy, organic farming, conservation, and recycling have moved from being just socially-conscious buzz words to critical concerns of daily life, a recent national survey shows that almost 90% of consumers say that they have shopped and/or plan to shop green. In fact, close to one billion dollars is being spent annually, with consumers now seeking green products as a normal part of everyday life. The growing legion of environmentally conscious shoppers dubbed "Greenfluencers" represent an influential and discerning group who are eco-savvy and informed. They are looking for products that will enrich their health and preserve the planet, but they are not willing to sacrifice style, choice, quality, comfort and convenience.

Enter TheUltimateGreenStore.com -- a one-stop green shopping destination featuring products from many of the world's leading manufacturers and designers of sustainable, natural, organic, recycled eco-conscious products that are made with our health and the health of our planet in mind. Founded by home improvement and green lifestyles expert Laura Meyer, the store offers a collection of many of the finest environmentally friendly products for you, your home, office, kids, and even your pets. From furniture to green cleaning products, fine linens to kids toys, organic bath and skincare products to beautiful home accessories, and including an array of amazing gifts, hip bags, office supplies and a whole department devoted to portable solar products that allow you to charge your electronic devices wherever you are, TheUltimateGreenStore.com offers a unique shopping experience. The store also makes it possible for consumers to personalize their shopping experience by creating a wishlist or gift registry for weddings, baby showers or other special events.

Meyer, a published author, speaker, and green columnist, says her inspiration for founding the store came out of the frequent inquiries she received about green products. "My consumer has embraced the concept of going green. So many of the questions I get are not necessarily geared towards what to do but, rather, what to buy and where to shop." Meyer realized that eco- conscious shoppers needed a central place to go to get a variety of great products in high-demand categories, get simple-to-understand information, and enjoy the shopping experience all while feeling that they are making a difference. And TheUltimateGreenStore.com is designed to show consumers that going green doesn't come at the sacrifice of quality, selection, and style. "I want to dispel the myth that an organic product doesn't feel good, look good, smell good, or that you have to forego beauty or luxury for the sake of being environmentally friendly," says Meyer.

Many of the products sold at TheUltimateGreenStore.com are manufactured by some of the most socially responsible companies on earth. The store also carries green products made by companies that did not start out with environmental concerns in mind, but now realize the importance of sustainable practices and production in launching green lines within their category. TheUltimateGreenStore.com hopes that in supporting these manufacturers, they will continue to move in this positive direction. The site offers valuable information about all of the products and the manufacturers without overwhelming the shopper; illustrating how the products offer meaningful impact to the consumer's quality of life and solution-oriented value to the environment, while ensuring customer satisfaction throughout the shopping experience.
